Scarlets v Dragons

The Scarlets make 1 change to the side which picked up their second win in Pool 6 at Reading last weekend. A hip injury sees Davies miss out with his place going to Rob Higgitt.

For the Dragons there's 6 changes with Tom Willis back to skipper the side, he's joined in the front row by Hugh Gustafson, Robert Sidoli partners Luke Charteris in the second row while MacDonald comes into the backrow. In the backline Tom Riley and Richard Fussell both start.

No Jon Davis will make a big diffrence to the Scarlets- If that boy doesn't make the Wales squad, there is not justice in the world. On the other hand, Matthew J should also be a big plus for the Dragons...

I had, funnily enough, posted the same topic ten minutes before hand. Ah well, only having on maker keeps things tidy.

Scarlets won a scrappy affair 15-3. The weather conditions were very poor, so plenty of handling errors. Prestland kicked all of the Scarlets points, don't think he missed either, fair play to the lad. Scarlets pack dominated procedings, especially at scrum time and with the rolling maul. Overall, not much for Gatland to run a rule over.

Boring game. Only three or four breaks, and a couple of decent mauls. The Dragons looked like scoring tries, but destroyed their chances at the last second. The Scarlets had the majority of possestion, but no territory. Snore.

Only plus is that Preistland didn't have the mare I was expecting of him.
